Making ground beef interesting

I pretty much exclusively eat grass fed ground beef for my meat consumption because it's cheap and I'm a poor college student. I don't really know many recipes other than a coconut curry beef one that I enjoy, but I want to try some new ones. Does anyone have a really good ground beef recipe they recommend? Thanks!

I make my own tallow from suet I get for free in the junk bin of my meat CSA. You can order suet and tallow from wellness meats, but I haven't had it so I don't know how good it is. I also save the drippings from fatty cuts of steak, and the fat from making bone broth. I get spirulina from Whole Foods.

Ha, actually I initially invented it as a holiday alternative to turkey when I was vegan, and I used soymeat and margarine. Shockingly, it tastes way better with real beef and butter. Who'd have guessed?

hash (essentially, whatever scraps of veggies you have lying around, maybe some peppers, mushrooms, an onion, a little bit of potato/sweet potato/turnip, plus a little tomato paste, some worchestershire sauce, butter, cumin, garlic, maybe some balsamic to make it tangy if it's lacking; fry it up and then mash it into the bottom of the pan so it gets a little crust, break it up, repeat, takes about 30 min.).

shepherd's pie (hash, plus cauliflower mash on top, sprinkle some cheese, throw it in the oven for like 1/2 an hour)

Taco night with lettuce wraps! We have this like once per week. Don't buy a pre-mixed taco seasoning, get some organic chili powder, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper, sautee it up, and put it in lettuce wraps, so good! It is simple, and I keep cooking it until it caramelizes a bit so I don't have to pour off the excess grease and it can stay in. If you have extra $$ get an avocado and slice it up for it, or some fresh pico de gallo. I almost never get sick of it.

This recipe call for almond butter; not sure how almonds really stack up. And, after I finished typing the recipe out, I realize that vinegar is probably not good also. I'm new to this! Maybe someone can hack this AMAZINGLY GOOD dish and give me some paleo subs?? (And I can't figure out how to make this display as I typed it in, in recipe format). Ugh.

The best burgers I've had do not need a grill or a bun. Mix salt into the ground beef (1 tsp per 1.5 lbs), form patties, cook in a stainless steel pan on med heat (3-4 min per side), then make this awesome wine and butter reduction sauce to put on top.

I eat grass fed ground beef almost exclusively too. One of my favorites is minced onion and mushrooms sauteed in butter mushed into the meat and formed into patties. I fry it in a little bit of fish sauce (I know it sounds strange but it tastes good) then I put it between 2 pieces of raw spinach like buns with tomato, spicy mustard and raw onion. Sometimes i'll add a slice of raw cheese with a strong flavor like Havarti.

For the last couple months I've been eating almost nothing other than ground beef for breakfast and dinner. I saute some leafy greens first in lots of fat (I use tallow), then I put them to the side and add the ground beef. Once it's done cooking I'll throw some sweet potato or winter squash on top. Sometimes I have it plain, sometimes with homemade sauerkraut, and sometimes mixed with spirulina. To shake things up, sometimes I'll saute onions and garlic, then add the ground beef. Onions, garlic, and turmeric make a nice sauce.

Throw it in the pan in this order, cooking everything a bit before the next bit goes in:

Oil;
Diced onion and garlic;
Ground beef;
Salt, pepper and Italian herb mix to preference;
Can of tomatoes;
Vegetables;
...boil kettle - hot water as needed, then lower heat to slowly simmer for a while
